In July Sue returned from her seventh voyage to the North Pole, lecturing on board the Russian nuclear icebreaker '50 Let Pobedy' for Quark Expeditions.
In September Sue will be travelling to the South Pacific to shoot stills on board the Clipper Odyssey for Noble Caledonia – sailing from Tahiti to Easter Island, via the Tuamotu Archipelago and Pitcairn Islands.
En route to the Antarctic in October, Sue will be attending the Lucies awards ceremony in New York, where she has just been named as one of eight finalists in the “International Photographer of the Year” competition, having been awarded first place in the Travel/Tourism section, and winning the Special – Pro section overall.
Sue will then be spending October to January 2010, working for Quark Expeditions on board the Russian Icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov. She is looking forward to her second full Antarctic season and will be visiting emperor penguin colonies, the Ross Sea, and the historic huts used by Scott and Shackleton.
